Patents by Inventor Nan Guo Ring

Nan Guo Ring has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10781256
    Abstract: Anti-SIRP? antibodies, including multi-specific anti-SIRP? antibodies, are provided, as are related compositions and methods. The antibodies of the disclosure bind to SIRP? and can block the interaction of CD47 on one cell with SIRP? on a phagocytic cell. Antibodies that are bispecific for SIRP? and a second antigen are termed Bi-specific Macrophage Enhancing (BiME) antibodies and have emergent properties. The subject anti-SIRP? antibodies find use in various therapeutic methods. Embodiments of the disclosure include isolated antibodies and derivatives and fragments thereof, pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more of the anti-SIRP? antibodies; and cell lines that produce the antibodies. Also provided are amino acid sequences of exemplary anti-SIRP? antibodies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: Kipp Andrew Weiskopf, Aaron Michael Ring, Jens-Peter Volkmer, Irving L. Weissman, Nan Guo Ring
  • Patent number: 10618976
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided relating to anti-SIRP? agonist antibodies. The antibodies of the invention bind to human SIRP?, and activate signaling, thereby inhibiting processes mediated by SIRP?, including without limitation phagocytosis. Embodiments of the invention include isolated antibodies and derivatives and fragments thereof, pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more of the anti-SIRP? agonist antibodies; and cell lines that produce these antibodies.

  • Patent number: 10358472
    Abstract: High affinity CD47 reagents are provided, which (i) comprise at least one amino acid change relative to the wild-type protein; and (ii) have an increased affinity for a SIRP? relative to the wild-type protein. Compositions and methods are provided for modulating phagocytosis in a mammal by administering a therapeutic dose of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a high affinity CD47 reagent, which blocks the physiological binding interaction between SIRP? and a ligand, e.g., native CD47.
